{{Infobox fractional-octave|4}}[[4edo]] is much less used as a scale, rather as a chord. In many [[5L 2s|diatonic-based]] [[interval region]] schemes, one step of 4edo is known as a minor third, and the stacking of them is the diminished seventh chord.

Usage of the [[6/5]] minor third as one step of 4edo by tempering out [[648/625]], and therefore using 4edo as a diminished seventh chord produced by stacking three minor thirds is one of the features of standard Western music theory, and is supported by [[12edo]]. See [[Diminished family]] for a collection of such temperaments.

[[19/16]], the 19th harmonic octave-reduced, is much closer to quarter-octave than 6/5, and while it is not a microtemperament, a lot of equal divisions support it.
